Kid Guard Pro Booster Seat Review
Why the Kid Guard Pro is the best booster for 3‑across setups.
Read our full review.
Recommended – The Kid Guard Pro Booster seat is designed to fit alongside another baby car seat, as it is narrow and does not have arm rests.
The Kid Guard Pro has expandable wings allowing larger children to stay safely harnessed.
The extended base allows for children with longer legs to be harnessed without the booster seat digging into their thighs.
Extendible Base
The base of the Kid Guard Pro booster seat is extendable, allowing children with longer legs to sit more comfortably by winding the dial on the front of the booster seat.
The base should be wound out far enough so that it is under your child’s knee.
Anti Submarining Clip
The Safe Guard Clip / Anti Sub-marining clip is designed to prevent children from sliding under the lap section of the seat belt.
The Safe Guard Clip requires the lap section of the seat belt to sit at the hips. The adjustment for the slide guard is under the base of the booster.
Expandable Wings
The purpose of the Kid Guard Pro Booster expandable wings is to allow children with wider shoulders to fit more comfortably. The mechanism widens the wings by lifting them upward.
Taller Children
When your child is taller than average, they may reach the upper shoulder marker before the legal age for an adult seat. The Kid Guard Pro permits an average 10‑year‑old to remain in a booster seat with additional side and head protection. For tall children, this allows them to safely reach the legal age of 7.
Fitting 3 Across with Kid Guard Pro Booster
The Kid Guard Pro is ideal for fitting 3 across the middle row due to its narrow footprint and the fact that it does not have arm rests.
The biggest problem with booster seats and 3 baby seats in the second row is that the seats sit close together, making it difficult to buckle the seat belt. The Kid Guard Pro solves this with no armrests, allowing easy access to the buckle.
Summary – Kid Guard Pro Booster Seat
Recommended – The Kid Guard Pro booster seat is the only booster seat you need when fitting 3 baby car seats across the second row. The additional safety features of SICT and the SlideGuard clip make a safe seat even better. When extended harnessing is possible, we recommend the Britax Maxi Guard.
